Real Estate Investment Skill: From 101 to 201: 1 Day Session in Melbourne

**Overview** Learn to analyze real estate deals, calculate ROI & cap rates, and build a smart investment portfolio in this hands-on 1-day workshop **Ready to secure your spot? 🎯 Register now and complete your payment securely via Stripe Checkout!** [Click Here](https://buy.stripe.com/8x2bJ1aam1YGeG4aeg2oE43) **The Details** **Duration:** 1 Day \| 8 Credits **Delivery:** Classroom / In-house **Language:** English **Includes:** Course Completion Certificate **Refreshments:** Lunch, snacks, and beverages will be provided during the session **Course Overview:** **Everyone's Buying Property. Almost No One Knows If It's a Good Deal.** Here's the uncomfortable truth: most people don't lose money in real estate by picking the *wrong* property. They lose money by never learning how to tell a good deal from a bad one in the first place. They see a listing, get excited, do some quick mental math, and hope for the best. Meanwhile, the investors actually building wealth? They're running numbers, reading market signals, and walking away from 8 out of 10 "opportunities" — because they know exactly what they're looking at. This one-day workshop teaches you to think — and calculate — like they do. *** **The Moment Everything Clicks** Picture this: someone hands you a property listing. Instead of guessing, you pull up the numbers — cap rate, cash flow, yield — and in minutes, you know exactly what it's worth, what it'll cost you, and whether it belongs in your portfolio. That's not a fantasy. That's Module 3, by lunchtime. *** **What's Standing Between You and Your First (or Next) Smart Investment?** * You don't know how to evaluate a property beyond "it looks nice" * Terms like cap rate, leverage, and yield feel like a foreign language * You've never run a real financing scenario — just guessed at numbers * You don't have a system, just instinct (and instinct isn't a strategy) * You want to grow a portfolio, not just own one lucky property Sound familiar? You're exactly who this was built for. *** **Inside the Workshop** **Think Like an Investor** — Property types, market dynamics, and the core concepts (appreciation, cash flow, equity) that separate strategy from guesswork **Spot Deals Worth Chasing** — What actually drives property value, and how to size up residential vs. commercial opportunities **Run the Numbers That Matter** — Calculate ROI, cash flow, cap rate, and yield with confidence — no finance degree required **Dodge the Expensive Mistakes** — Read market cycles, assess real risk, and learn what trips up first-time investors **Master the Money Side** — Mortgage basics, leverage, funding options, and a live financing simulation to make it real **Build a Portfolio, Not Just a Purchase** — Diversification, risk balance, and long-term vs. short-term strategy **Leave With a Plan, Not Just Notes** — Your own investment criteria checklist and a concrete next step *** **Not Just a Lecture** This is a hands-on workshop — role-plays, a live financing simulation, case study breakdowns, and group exercises. You'll be doing the analysis, not just watching it happen on a slide. *** **Who's in the Room** Beginners taking their first real step into property investing. Finance professionals sharpening their edge. Small business owners planning long-term wealth. Anyone tired of feeling like everyone else understands real estate better than they do. No prior experience required. Just curiosity and a willingness to do the math. *** **Bring Your Whole Team** Want your finance team, leadership group, or firm speaking the same investment language? This course is available as a **private, customized group session** — tailored to your organization's focus, industry, and experience level. Delivered in-house or virtually, with group pricing for teams of any size. 📩 [corporate@mangates.com ](corporate@mangates.com)to build a session around your team. **Your Next Deal Deserves Better Than a Guess** Register now and walk out knowing exactly how to size up a property, run the numbers, and build a plan — not just a wish list. 📩 [info@mangates.com](info@mangates.com) \| 📞 \+61 \(0\) 2 80155605

📚 #InPursuit – A Book Club for Builders, Thinkers, and Doers

📚 #InPursuit is a book club for entrepreneurs, creatives, and curious minds who know personal growth fuels business growth. **See a lot of RSPVPs and wonder how it works? We'll break up into groups of 6-8 to share our insights, then swap groups after 30-45min so you can maximise learning from everybody!** *Note: this even is not organised by or affiliated with The State Library of Victoria* **That's what #InPursuit is all about** It’s not a traditional book club, it’s a space for people who are actively designing a better life through the pursuit of business, creativity, and personal growth. This event is for anyone #InPursuit of better business, life and relationships. Instead of reading the same book, we each come prepared to share one powerful insight from something we’ve read in the past 3-months. Anything non-fiction that’s moved us forward. Whether it’s a mindset shift, a productivity system, a new philosophy, or just a truth that punched us in the gut. This is a place to unpack it together and hear what others are learning too. We’re not just here to *read*. We’re here to *integrate*. Because when we grow, our business and our lives grow too. **🔍 Why Join? You'll leave with:** * 5–10 fresh insights from books you may never have picked up * Deeper awareness of how others think, lead, and evolve * New connections with people walking a similar path toward purpose, results, and impact This isn’t a lecture. It’s a room full of people building themselves while they build the thing. **📖 How It Works** First time? No pressure to share, just come curious. We'll break up into groups of 6-8 and share our insights, then swap groups so you can maximise the learning! Returning? Bring one idea you’ve read about in the last 3-months and be ready to speak on: 1. What did you learn? 2. How did it shift your perspective about the world or yourself? 3. How has it changed the way you show up or behave? We keep it structured, but flexible. After sharing, we open up to Q&A, personal stories, challenges, and deep dives. Some of the best insights come from the conversations *after* the share. **🧠 Who This Is For** * Entrepreneurs or side-hustlers finding their footing * Business owners, and doers building toward better * Curious minds who love ideas but care more about action * People tired of shallow conversations and hungry for growth If you’re working on something—or becoming someone—this space is for you. It’s a practice ground for people who want to grow forward. We’re all #InPursuit of mastery, momentum, and the kind of success that starts from within. **Map on how to get there** We're in the Create Quarter on the ground level (back right of the Quad as you enter from Swanson St). We'll likely be on a long table together. https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/SLV-EnglishMap_Jan25.pdf

How is it that you can Help kids or yourself to become a better student!

Too many kids as well as teenagers and adults have problems with study. Today's meetup will inform you about the basics in STUDY TECHNOLOGY that provides an understanding of the basics of learning and supplies exact ways to overcome all the pitfalls one can encounter during study. This is applicable to young children, teenagers (or their parents that are trying to help them) and adults alike. Study Technology shows how one studies in order to comprehend a subject so one can apply it. Laws on which learning is based and workable methods have also been discovered for anyone to apply for themselves or when teaching others. Too many students graduate from school and college unable to put to use what they’ve learned in school. It’s not that they’re stupid or that their teachers didn’t know how to teach. More than likely it traces back to the one thing missing from most educations—learning how to learn in the first place. We all went to school, yet isn’t it odd that no one taught us how to study? The information presented at this meetup can help anyone improve others or his own ability to learn. It is a practical tool that parents and teachers alike can use to enhance a child's study performance. You’ll learn the barriers that lie between your own or a child's education. And you will very quickly learn how to overcome them. This technology will enable you or a child to pursue any subject with skill and confidence. Teachers who have "hard to handle/distributive " or slow learners in class will absolutely love the amazing turn around most often seen in improved behaviour and student performance in class. If you or your child has difficulties at school (or learning new things at work or online) than this meetup is important to you. If you can not make it to our meetup than contact the organizer and arrange it to suit your time. This technology can if one was to live far away be taught online. (extension course) You may offcourse also opt to have this technology taught to your own child by experienced volunteeer staff or learn about this yourself and transfer this knowledge to those you want to have better grades. Yes it is possible to improve anyone's study performance. All it takes is just 5 steps. See you at this meetup. Pam
